The characteristic feature of the virus to infect the living organism makes it useful for genetic research.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Certain viruses are regularly utilized as vectors in genetic research since they can convey the new quality by infecting the cell. They are modified genetically to make them as vector in such a manner that the virus acts only as the vector and doesn’t cause any disease to the living cell. As vector virus injects their hereditary material with new gene into a chromosome in the human cell and starts to replicate.

Which of these is a way climate change positively affects organisms?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Climate change positively affects organisms by </em><em><u>providing them new habitat. </u></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Climate change induces <em>changes in various parameters of an ecosystem </em>like temperature, precipitation, soil properties etc. habitats may undergo changes that make it unsuitable for native organisms to live in.

But this <em>new conditions</em> may be favourable for some other kind of organisms to thrive and flourish.

<em>For example, </em>when temperature of a lake increases due to climate change warm water aquatic organisms find a new habitat in the lake. But this threatens the life of <em>native cold water organisms of the lake. </em>

Thus climate change doesn’t bring any benefits to living world without harming one or the other <em>group of organisms. </em>
